I would have thought this an April Fool's joke, but the date is three  
days later and it's from Forbes:

"Gates' Microsoft Will Provide Support For Linux"

http://www.forbes.com/2006/04/04/microsoft-gates-linux- 
cx_cn_0404autofacescan06.html?partner=yahootix

"... [Microsoft] will now provide technical support for the open- 
source software running on Virtual Server, and would make Virtual  
Server 2005 R2 available free."

That hits on so many levels.  For example, running Linux in VS2005 on  
Windows on an Intel-Mac.

But for some reason I'm thinking "Embrace, extend, extinguish".
